Election year history would have us ramping for the remainder of the year which is the camp I'm in. Then next year early reality will set in and we can begin the next big downleg. At least I hope that is true since I am 200% long as of Tuesday with UOPIX:)

It seems like various sectors seem to be at their highs...and other sectors seem that they might move higher as the year continues. IMO some of the retail stocks seem to be trading near their highs, and may not move too much higher at these levels? With the general world unrest, IMO the security stocks such as IDNX, MAGS, VISG might move higher leading into the Olympics and the Homeland Defense spending. One of my favorite stocks (don't cringe when you look at the P&F Chart <g>) is CALM. I've owned this since last year with the emphasis on the Atkins diet, and eating more protein. (CALM is the largest producer and distributor of eggs in the United States, and IMO the demand for eggs will continue to grow.) Another stock I've bought on sell off days is BIO. (At least the BIO P&F chart looks positive!) IMO more testing (maybe testing all beef before it is sold?)for "Mad Cow" will be something that the general public will demand in the future. If we are going to start selling beef overseas again, that is something that IMO other countries will also require. IMO there is more risk for "Mad Cow" disease than the general public understands, and it is a risk that can easily be eliminated by testing all beef before it is sold. I know that I would be willing to pay more for beef that has been tested, just to reduce that risk. (even if the risk is statistically small.) One producer of beef (Creekstone Farms) I believe is currently suing the USDA for the right to test all of their beef before it is sold.
